The Running Struggle

Day Two in the bag y'all!!!  I am loving it so far. But I can't say too much since I usually stop after a week, or when a weekend comes up. I make excuses and don't do it.  But I will do it. I need to better myself.

I am starting my running health journey again. Life is slowing down, and I need to do this for myself. I deserve to feel good about myself. Running helps me clear my head and just listen to the music and my feet hitting the treadmill or pavement.  So here we go.  My friend said if you are starting again to try just going for a specific time and not worry about miles, that it will come in time. Bump up the time you run little by little.  So I did that today. Ran almost for 10 minutes straight. After not running for almost six months, this surprised me! I am so proud of myself. I'd I make myself do it every day or at least 5 times a week, I think I can be better than I was. I will use this to make myself accountable. Let's do this!!!

Hi!  *waves frantically* I'm Pam.

I'm a busy girl.  I make time to hang out with my hubby, our dog and cat, and spend time with family and friends.  However, I don't make time for me. Yup, me time gets put to the side for everything and everyone else.  I have a hard time telling anyone no.  So staying fit or active has just not been a priority in my life for about 10 years. Over the years I have tried multiple times to have a consistent running/fitness schedule  But I have always done every excuse in the book as to why I can't run that day. It is raining. I'm tired from coaching and working. It is too cold out. (It is 30 degrees out.  Before you mock, 30 in the South is cold with the added humidity.  I know. I grew up in Minnesota.) It is too hot ...
